Don't miss

#1-Don't Lead Beyond Your Own Exposure

You need to be exposed beyond the people that you lead or you forfeit your right to lead them
#2-Don't Choose Your Leadership Team Like You Choose Your Friends

#3-Don't Reward Nepotism

If you reward people because of who they are instead of what they've done, others will transform who they are to what you like to the detriment of what you need

#5-Don't Overpromise and Underdeliver

You have to constantly ask yourself: "Do people get what I advertised when they get me or is my advertisement better than my reality?"
